A court in Havana, Cuba, has fined Gorki Aguila lead singer of Cuban Punk band Porno Para Ricardo $30  for public disorder but  a more serious charge of ' social dangerousness ' which carries a 4 year jail sentence was dropped.

Porno Para Ricardo is known for songs that ridicule Cuba's communist government. 

Shortly before the hearing Cuban prosecutors decided to drop the 'social  dangerusness ' charge and hit Aguilla with the public disorder rap instead for playing his group's music too loud while they were recording their new album.

He was then ordered to pay a $30 fine and released.

Speaking to reporters at his home after the hearing the unrepentant  Punk rocker said  it was clear that the  international interest in his case was responsible for prosecutors dropping  the ' social dangerousness ' charge and he vowed to continue criticising the Cuban authorities  and its communist leaders insisting that  nothing could ever be gained by remaining silent. Johnny Rotten lead singer of the Sex Pistols still seems to agree with this Punk philosophy  as he has put his newfoind career as a reality tv celebrity on hold to reform the Pistols  again .
